UP Staff Correspondent Chicago OI.R) Most folks would think grey-haired Errol Young has it made. He lives on a yacht and he can walk to work in about one minute.

For one thing, he has to pay a water tax. And in a couple of weeks he'll have to put the boat in drydock. "It's going to cost me about $6,000 to get her shipshape," he said.
